New Zealand Bee Pollen has been known to have incredible healing properties and holds a special place in abeeco’s heart. It was the first product we sold twenty-five years ago when we opened. Over the years, we’ve added more New Zealand bee pollen products to our range, including Supabee for Men and Supabee for Women.
What is Bee Pollen?
Bees harvest the pollen from flowers. When it’s mixed with enzymes and nectar, it resembles little granules.
Bee Pollen is made from flower pollen, nectar, honey and wax that the bee collects on her legs while searching the flowers for food. And all this goodness that it collects contains proteins, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
Containing over 250 natural compounds, New Zealand Bee Pollen is one of the best natural supplements you can take for boosting energy levels and supporting your immune system. It’s like mother nature decided to make her own brand of multi-nutrient.
Just one teaspoon (5g) of bee pollen contains around
1.75g protein
16 calories
2g carbohydrates
Such a tiny amount of golden bee pollen packs a heavy-weight punch when it comes to protein-containing weight for weight the same amount as high protein meat and eggs.
- 14 fatty acids
- 12 vitamins
- 22 amino acids
- 27 minerals
- 11 enzymes and co-enzymes

Super-size your Bee Pollen Superfood
Did you know that having Bee Pollen with your honey (think Manuka Honey and Bee Pollen on your smoothie bowl) may amplify the superfood effects of Bee Pollen? Research has found that taking both boosts the antioxidant power you get. Try the abeeco MGO 515+ Manuka Honey produced deep in the rugged Taranaki bush with a complex, aromatic, honey flavour.
How to choose bee pollen
It’s important to choose the right bee pollen, and we recommend New Zealand bee pollen because it’s harvested right here in clean, green New Zealand.
Because it’s so rare, much of the bee pollen sold is from overseas sources. Abeeco bee pollen has been tested by the commerce commission to confirm it’s 100% NZ bee pollen.
